YooGuu.com - Social Network Just Like the Rest

If you’re looking for yet another social network to add yourself to, try YooGuu. YooGuu has taken the micro-blogging route—every message you send is limited to a cool 140 characters. As with most other social networks, YooGuu has a strong focus on media, especially photos. Besides photo sharing however, users can swap and browse bookmarks, join groups and meet new people. Of course, each user gets profile space which can be decorated with photos, quotes, and quick about me type facts. Top uploaders get a spot on the homepage as do most recent messages sent and ‘new cool people’. The community appears to be largely Chinese at the moment. YooGoo is a free network.

“Our PASSION is to provide the most exciting social networking platform where user can have the most fun, rich and immersive experience when connecting with their family, friends and colleagues from all over the world.

yooGuu was born in Mountain View, California in April 2007. In a short time frame, we have come a long way. We are constantly improving and adding new features to the site. So please visit us often.”

This is a clean and standard network which seems to target Asians. It’s got all the proper features any social network should have, and it’s already got a decent user base. All in all, it’s off to a good start.

What differentiates this network from every other one out there? What’s the business model? Marketing strategy?
